I have a 2011 MCS that I track quite a bit. All it takes is a couple of high-speed laps before the brakes really start to heat up. I've been looking for ways to duct air to the discs/hubs and not having much luck. The only commercial solution I've seen is the R53 duct kit with the scoop under the control arm but that seems pretty makeshift.

The 2011s have the duct inlets built right into the lower bumper, which is perfect. From there, however, to the discs is so cramped I can't see a way to route the duct hose. Between the tire travel, axle & sway bar link positions (not to mention the strut in the way of everything), there's not much left. Maybe if I route the hose over the engine...

Has anyone come up with a workable solution? Barring that, any thoughts out there about how they would do it?

 

Doesn't the JCW Aero kit have this? I would figure it does (only comparing because the RT doesn't have the ducts but the SRTs do on the Challenger and it's an easy replacement).

Did find this:

I may not be familiar with the JCW dusts but I thought they were basically the same as mine, i.e. square plastic tubing from the lower grille to the wheel well. The problem with this arrangement is that all it really accomplishes is to dump non-directional outside air into the wheel well. Any air getting to the brakes is purely by accident.

I'm looking for a method to connect that square plastic tubing to the brake disc, preferably at the rear. The space is so confined, though, that there aren't many options.

 

I see, you're right, that's where that kit ends. I saw one of my friends has ducts like you're talking about in his 1964 Ford Falcon he races. They are of the home brew variety. Let me ask some of our racers at out next meet on the 16th so if you don't have an answer by then, I'll pipe back in.
